Warriors of Wyrd,
The time has come...
We are proud to announce the next chapter of our business and we will be rebranding ourselves as Wyrd Leatherworks and Meadery LLC. This new transition will include a fully functional and medieval themed mead hall and a new venue space for live acts. With this new Indiegogo campaign, we are reaching out to our friends, followers, supporters, and to our clan to help us achieve our goal.
By backing us on Indiegogo here is what you would be helping create:
The New Meadery
As production increases and demands has risen, we are outgrowing our current meadery space. With this new space, we will double the currently available brewing space, which means we will be able to increase overall production volume, as well as increase our quantities of mead. With multiple recent releases selling out within days, and expanding our market to include shipping to over 40 states, we want to meet the demands of our thirsty patrons! The space will also allow us to have room for a new brewery section, where we can make braggots (think honey beer). Funds go exclusively into acquisition of our new space and equipment needed to operate. Any additional funds will be used to expand inventory and food selection, any unforeseen expenses during the buildout, all while aiming to provide the greatest immersive experience possible while visiting us.
The New Mead Hall
With the acquisition of this new space, we are planning to open a brand new feature to our business. A fully functional mead hall, which is something that doesn't exist currently in Portland. Our mead hall will be a place where friends can gather, sit down and have some food and mead, while being immersed within an atmosphere transporting you back to times of old with medieval vibes. We plan to go all out with the aesthetic of the space to make it a truly unique experience. This will include wooden tables and chairs, barrels, banners on the walls, swords, axes, and anything you might find in a medieval tavern or mead hall. We plan to serve our mead on tap, as well as other mead from other regional meaderies with whom we have become close along with a selection of complimentary food items.
The Venue
Within the Mead Hall, this new space has a room that we would like to dedicate to being a venue space. Portland right now has seen the loss of many venues over the years, and we are slowly losing places where local acts and touring acts can play. We know so many musicians from around the globe and we would love to be able to offer a space for them to play, even if it isn't the biggest around. This space can include live shows, performances, karaoke nights, themed parties or game nights, and more!
The Storefront
Our shop isn't going away! Included in this new space is ample room to continue our current operations as a storefront, where we will continue to host our own leather and mead products and feature local artists work on consignment. We will just have a little more space!
The Leather Workshop
Our leather goods department will still be functional and operating the same as we always have! We may even have more space to work, as well as the ability to get better equipment for the department down the road. All leather goods will still be available in our storefront, don't worry!
Heed the Call
Those are the features that we wish to bring to the table. Our goal is to create a totally unique place in Portland, something that will make us stand out from every other bar, meadery, and leather goods shop around. We want to take people out of the modern world and into medieval fantasy, where folks can relax after a hard days questing. By backing us on Indiegogo, you are helping us turn this dream into reality!
